Parameters for tables

Note: Make use of the favorite files to make it easier to manage the tables for the dimension line indexes. You can then save the current settings as a favorite. These favorites can then be loaded and edited with ease in the Load favorite dialog box.

"Table" tab

General

Name:

User-defined name that is visible in the tree structure of the layout catalog.

Contents

Specify for multilayer walls (double wall, thermal wall, and so on) whether to display the Entire component or Individual layers of the component.

iTrigger

If no iTrigger is set, the corresponding sheet will always be created. In all other instances, the condition set for the respective precast element will be analyzed when creating the element plan. A decision will then be taken as to whether the table is to be created or not, based on the latest data for the precast element.

Please note the way the layout looks in the Layout Catalog will no longer correspond to the finished element plan if several lines are on top of each other or if individual cells are removed or created based on the specified conditions.

Note: If several cells are on top of each other in the same place (e.g. different tables for different conditions), you must select the respective cell that is the easiest option in the tree structure.

The final element plan may have fewer pages than there are in the Layout Catalog as a result of iTrigger. The actual pages generated are always displayed and numbered in the element plan window.

Note: Should the conditions for creating the latest element plan layout change later on (e.g. changes to the list owing to changes in the number of fixtures, and so on), no more automatic adjustments will be made to the layout. The element plan must then be generated again, where required, using Create new element plan.

iTrigger

You can select one of the conditions defined under iTrigger in the General area.

Contents of "page"

Sorting by layer:

If you select this option, you can merge the sections on the visible and invisible side without having to constantly repeat the sub-heading for the "Side" .

Note: This option is only worthwhile if identical values have been assigned for individual section numbers on the Sections I and Sections II tabs.

Layer:

This setting is only available when the Individual layers setting is selected for the contents in the General area. Use and to specify the layer, or click to open the table where you can choose the layers (1 to 6) you want to include in the table. Select the Display option to show the lines for selecting the visible side and the invisible side.

Note: Make use of the favorite files to make it easier to manage the layers for the dimension line indexes. You can then save the current settings as a favorite. These favorites can then be loaded and edited with ease in the Load favorite dialog box.

Display:

This setting is only available when the Individual layers setting is selected for the contents in the General area. Specify whether to include the selected layer in the table. You must select this option if you want to select the visible side and the invisible side.

Visible side / Invisible side:

Select the contents of the table as you would when defining the contents of views and sections.

Options

Maximum table length / width:

The maximum length and width of the table is defined in the current unit of length. The program reserves this defined area for the table, considering it when automatically determining the scale. If the table requires less space, the remaining space is empty.
The table's min-max box appears in construction-line format in the element plan. When you specify a fixed scale, you can immediately check whether elements extend into the table.

The program creates the table only within the defined area. The program fills the table with entries until it reaches the predefined table length. If there is enough space for a second/third column, the program creates a second/third column. The program does not reduce the contents of the columns until the entire width is filled with columns but there are still elements to be listed. The font size of the first/second column, and so on, will only be reduced until a second/third column, and so on, can be created. However, the percentage specified for the Reduce text to parameter is the upper limit for reducing the font size.

If the font size and thus the width of the first/second column, and so on, cannot be reduced so that a second/third column, and so on, fits in, the program fills only parts of the table with entries and displays a warning at the end of the table.
The same applies to the second/third column, and so on. Here, too, the table ends with a warning if data is missing.

Text attributes:

Enter or select the required attributes for the text in the table. Text height and width are entered into the current unit of length and the font angle is entered in [degrees].

Reduce text to:

Enter the percentage up to which the program reduces the text in the table so that all entries fit in the first and second columns of the table within the predefined area. If this limit is reached and data is still missing, the table ends with a warning.

Unit of measurement for areas, lengths, volumes:

Select the required unit [cm], [mm] or [in].

Number of zeros for reinforcement spacing:

Up to a maximum of four trailing zeros can be stated in the element plan table on the element plan for when bars are placed at offsets. Select the required number of trailing zeros here.

Sequence in tables

Specify whether to list the elements of the visible side or invisible side first. For double walls, the sequence in the table is usually the same as the arrangement of the views on the sheet.

"Table I" tab

By means of the Use option and Sequence in table number, which you can find in each area, you can define whether and where the individual elements of the precast element will be written in the table - the greater the number, the lower the priority.

Tip: You will see the most compact table for the reinforcement if you give the same number to all areas under the section number. When you select the Sorting by layer option in the "Page" contents area on the Table tab, you will see a table with just two headlines for the reinforcement.

You can define additional parameters for the following areas.

General

Include area of panel:

Writes the panel area to the table. Special, customer-specific invoicing modes will be ignored.

Select the elements you want to write to the table.

Include bar cross-section:

You can choose between as required and as present.

The reinforcement quantity in the table of the element plan always includes the longitudinal bars, cross bars, and the lattice girders based on the enclosing rectangle of the element! In the case of panels or recesses of irregular geometry, the program might exclude longitudinal bars, cross bars, and lattice girders of the basic reinforcement! This will be ignored!

Bars / Meshes summarized:

When this option is not selected, the bars or meshes will not be summarized in the table (for example, L* : 7 d 8/33-280, …).

Note: If the leaf of a wall created using Design (iWall) is split into several individual layer parts by way of an opening or recess, for example, a separately compiled reinforcement will be written for each geometric part.
